Difficult in the absence of further clinical informations, once infective cause excluded other differentials are acral neutrophilic dermatoses or acral pustular psoriasis. 

Will wait, it would be interesting to know what the final feedback is.

Vincenzo.... When I mentioned exclusion of an infective cause that meant to include viral causes particularly Coxsackie A6 "atypical" hand, foot and mouth disease, agree why not? we do PCR for entrovirus on the blister fluid and that can help the diagnosis easily if one suspect it clinically rather than a biopsy..

Anil ... Neutrophilic dermatoses can affect palms and soles especially in those with haematological malignancies but it is rare and there are few anecdotal cases already published.  Neutrophilic Dermatoses of Hands/ Dorsal hands is another acral variant which is more familar to many. It is very unlikely in this cases.
